Shelter at home??

By
Monday, Mar 23, 2020

So, this is going to be short. Because I have had some respiratory problems on my mission that required an inhaler I am being sent home. I'm still not sure when I will be going home, but I definitely will be being going home! The work here is going well, just everything is being done over social media which I'm glad we have.

I love you all and for those at home, I'm excited to get to actually talk to you soon!

Grit, Growth, and Praise

By
 Have you ever heard of the word "grit"? I'm not talking about gritty stuff at the bottom of a tub, nor am I referencing a kind of cornmeal porridge from a bowl. Nope, this is the kind of stuff that gets one through a task when the going gets tough or there is a need for extra effort and perseverance. As parents, we often need grit to get us through the finish line of raising our kids, but this trait can be valuable to your children as they learn from failures and grow. Grit also helps children work on goals and stick to them. The applications are endless. Psychologists have studied this in children. Intensity is different than grit. Dr. Angela Duckworth, author and psychologist, defines grit this way: You may recognize how grit has helped you as a parent. Maybe you even see it in your children already. Grit and a growth mindset go hand in hand. This graphic shows a visual of the comparison of fixed vs. growth mindset.  Learning about mindset dispels ideas that children/a...
